October seventh hasn't ended.

And I don't mean the traumatized headspace many of us have been since then. I mean the literal attack.

October seventh continues with every rocket launched towards Israel. October seventh continues with the fire in the north. October seventh continues with each day the hostages aren't free.

October seventh is also in the diaspora. October seventh continued when Paul Kessler was killed. October seventh continued when Benjamin Harouni was killed. October seventh continued with the cases of rape in France. October seventh continued with the "day of rage" and Nova riot in New York. October seventh continued with the pogrom in LA. October seventh continued with the campus violence.

The initial, catalyst attack of October seventh may have ended, but the aftershocks are still shaking each of our lives.

Each chant for "globalizing the intifada" and the erasure of Israel from the world is a continuation of October seventh. Each instance of violence and hostility against the diaspora is a continuation of October seventh.

October seventh was meant to destroy us, and they haven't stopped trying. In spite of this, we will outlive them. This is nothing new and we have survived this before.

Am Yisrael Chai, now and forever.

I can't believe this is a radical opinion in these current times.

If a part of your group is being violent towards jews, physically or emotionally or chanting for violence, and the group as a whole does not call those people out and prevent antisemitism and instead ignores them, tries to say they aren't really apart of the group or tries to sweep them under the rug, then the whole group has a problem with antisemitism.

Ignoring and sweeping antisemitism under the rug means that the group does not view it as a problem.

If you do not prevent or call out antisemitism, it means the group is fine with it existing in the same spaces you do.

If you truly do not want antisemitism in pro palestine movements, you will do everything to prevent and stop it from existing in those spaces, same for any groups. If you do not, you are fine with it existing in pro palestine spaces.

Praying for Israel

Praying for the Jewish people around the world

The antisemitic, anti-Israel victim blaming for Iran’s attack has already begun. Give yourself permission to ignore it and to shut it out. The opinions of people who have never cared and will never care about our humanity don’t matter. All that matters is supporting each other and remembering that we are a beautiful people, stronger and more resilient than our enemies can possibly imagine.

No nation or empire in three thousand years has succeeded in wiping out the Jewish people. They have all tried and they have all failed.

We will outlive them

What's the difference between and ABC brownbear and a Grizzly?

hi, thanks for asking!

grizzly bears are a subspecies of brown bears! kodiak bears and european brown bears are also subspecies. "brown bear" is a broader category that includes several subspecies. geographical separation and location is the largest factor in determining the differences between subspecies of brown bear.

grizzly bears are one of the largest subspecies of brown bear (kodiak bears are the largest)! they live in north america and don't typically have access to as many coastal food sources as kodiak bears do, which means that they're usually smaller in size. while kodiak bears are coastal and have access to fatty salmon, grizzly bears live inland and rely more heavily on plant life and insects that they forage.

above is a diagram that illustrates the size difference. from left to right - black bear, grizzly bear, kodiak bear, and polar bear.

grizzlies live in alpine meadows, forests, and valleys. their fur has a 'grizzled' appearance - with darker roots and lighter tips - hence their name.
